Questions

It has started as a story about a dentist who is repulsed by people’s simple, minor flaws (like crooked or discolored teeth). I don’t know if I should leave it as a description of a lonely man or put in a conflict, climax, resolution etc. any ideas or things that might help me come up with ideas?

Atop this hill is where it happened, where I lost everything and anything precious to me. It’s atop this hill where the only reason I kept moving forward stopped pushing me and ceased moving altogether. It was atop this hill that I decided to find out who did this and it is upon this very hill that I will take them and judge them for what they have done to me…for what they did to her. It all seems so unreal, so much like a dream that starts off innocent enough but quickly turns to shit right when things seem so cheerful. However, unlike a dream, I can’t seem to wake up. It’s been two years since I found her here, lying peacefully , undisturbed, and just as beautiful as those days when we used to lay in that exact stop and look at the stars. This time however she wouldn’t move when I nudged her, she would answer when I said her name, and she no longer was there to console me when the tears came. I stayed with her for several hours just knelling their chain smoking cigarette after cigarette, something I was planning on quitting with her help. I stayed their till I no longer had tears left to give, till my throat felt raw and on fire from the constant supply of smoke, till I realized what It was I had to do. Ever since that day I return to this hill. I return to this hill and I lay down in the spot where I found her. I lay and I think. “Who could have done this?”, “Why did they do this?”, and “What can I do to them when I find them that will make them suffer?” These are the questions I ask myself as I sort through a mental list of possible suspects and their motivations. It’s as I lay here upon this hill that something unexpected is about to happen. Its upon this hill that a new lead reveals itself to me and its upon this hill that I finally start down the ever twisting road of revenge.

I’m looking for Creative Writing classes in Long Island for teenagers. I’m in a school creative writing class but allot of people don’t take it seriously, and those of us who do have to censor our work. I talked to people in the class and most of us want to find a creative writing class outside of the school, but I google searched it and I can’t find any Creative Writing classes at all.

I’m looking for a particular shop in Manila where i can buy the softwares found advertised in my magazine but it’s only available abroad and can only be bought through online payment- it’s about creative writing. There are decent shops here like National Book store but they only sell limited variety of softwares (mostly games and encyclopedia). I think it is cheaper and safer to buy licensed software in the shop than order it online.

I have to pick a poem to recite in class and I want to pick something that more or less deals with inspiring oppressed people to unite and fight for a patriotic cause even if it’ll be the bloodiest battle ever. I tried finding some powerful American Revolution ones but I wasn’t too successful with that. Thanks in advance.
Powerful poem nonetheless, thanks a lot for recommending it.

I see love poems posted here all the time, and I wonder well if you shared it, how did that work out for you? Please share the poem and the results (if you like).

Here’s my first love poem ever that I gave to the woman who became my wife (so it worked out for me). I know it isn’t that long, but I wasn’t used to writing love poetry.

Dark Waters

In the feeling, there is the risk
that we might feel.
To slip beyond touch, the light
caress, to drown in dark waters
beyond knowing

Where words become redundancies.
Where thoughts slow…slow…
Stop.

In the stillness of the moment there is peace.
As the waves retreat,
carrying us beyond our shores.
